Periodically, I’m going to be checking into how travel Web sites are performing in the U.S. and the world. This week, Experian Hitwise, which measures a sample of 25 million Internet users and 10 million in the United States, to figure out Internet data and behavior, ranked the top travel Web sites.* (Note: The top 20 travel Web sites included Google, Yahoo! and Bing maps as well as MapQuest, which for our purposes aren’t travel Web sites. So, I took the liberty of pulling out only online travel agencies, or places one can book travel, and travel-oriented sites.)
